In the military tent, Zhu Qizhen's face became increasingly ugly.
This is not the first time Xi Ning has mentioned this matter to him.
As early as about three days ago, Xi Ning expressed his willingness to marry Daming on behalf of Ye Xian, and promised to let him return to Beijing as long as he agreed.
Zhu Qizhen was indeed tempted for a moment, but luckily Yuan Bin was there to remind him.
Although they are in the captive camp now, they are still people of the Ming Dynasty. Accepting Ye Xian's marriage at this time and passing it back to the Ming Dynasty will make the people feel that he, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is willing to be the son-in-law of the thieves and captives, and has no right to be a king of a great country.
of majesty.
In addition, according to the news they received, at least until now, the imperial court was still trying its best to welcome him back as the emperor.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is different from the previous dynasties. It has always prided itself on the fact that it has no peace with the Han Dynasty, no alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and no small coins in the Song Dynasty.
If you agree to this marriage, you will be suspected of being greedy for pleasure and not caring about life.
Moreover, Yuan Bin also reminded him that he was also cunning at first, whether he first asked for the gold and silver of the python garment, or later in Datong City, he claimed that as long as his request was met, he would be released.
But often as soon as their demands are met, they will never mention the matter of release, and instead intensify their efforts.
These words immediately dispelled all of Zhu Qizhen's illusions, and he rejected Xi Ning at that time, but who would have expected that he would not give up and come to persuade him again?
Zhu Qizhen said with a cold face: "I have made it clear to the Grand Master about this matter before. Now that I am in the Grand Master's camp, everything is inconvenient. If the Grand Master really intends to get married, we will discuss this matter after I return to Beijing."
Not too late."
After all, it was on someone else's territory. Although Zhu Qizhen was angry, he did not reject it outright. He still left some room for speech.
Of course, this room is not reserved for Xi Ning, but for Ye Xian.
Xining was not surprised by Zhu Qizhen's attitude and continued to persuade him.
"The grand master doesn't care about these red tapes, so why should the emperor bother with them?"
"I promise, as long as you agree to get married, the Grand Master will respectfully send you back to the capital in a short time."
Zhu Qizhen listened to Xi Ning's words with cold eyes and said:
"As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I should respect etiquette and uphold justice. The Grand Master does not care about some etiquette, but I need to abide by it. There is no need to mention this matter again."
Feeling Zhu Qizhen's firm attitude, Xi Ning finally changed his expression.
You know, this matter was his idea first. If it didn't work out, he would be scolded severely.
If this happens too many times, you may not know how long it will take before you lose ground.
Having experienced this feeling of stepping on others, how could he be willing to go back to his previous days of being submissive and cautious?
But Zhu Qizhen's current attitude indeed made him feel very troubled.
No matter what, this is the Ming Emperor.
It doesn't matter if he breaks the rules with his words, but if he really wants to use some means to him, he should be beaten to death first.
What's more, Xi Ning knew in his heart that what he wanted first was not Zhu Qizhen. What he wanted was a serious marriage between the Emperor of Heaven and Princess Wala.
Without the endorsement of Zhu Qizhen, the Emperor of Heaven, even if he stuffed Ye Xian's sister into his big tent to sleep for a night, it would be useless.
After getting up and walking back and forth in front of the case, Xining said with a serious look: "It seems that the emperor has made up his mind? Let's think about it. It must be the man named Yuan Bin. What did he say to the emperor? What did he say to the emperor?
Bar?"
Zhu Qizhen didn't want to take another look at this kind of villain who was so powerful. He put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.
"Didn't I make it clear enough? Yuan Bin is one of my people. What he said to me has nothing to do with you. If there is nothing else, just resign."
This means driving people away...
Xi Ning clenched her fists and looked at Zhu Qizhen darkly. After a long while, she suddenly laughed and said.
"It's my fault for disturbing the emperor's rest. Since the emperor doesn't want to, I will report back to the grand master truthfully. You have a good rest."
After saying that, he turned around and left the big tent with the people without staying any longer.
Such crispness made Zhu Qizhen feel a little uneasy.
Normally, this Xi Ning would never give up until he achieved his goal, so he left so easily this time?
In the empty tent, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but get up and walk around in the tent.
Seeing this situation, Ha Ming asked: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"
Zhu Qizhen clasped his hands, frowned, and said, "I can't explain it, but I just feel that Xi Ning won't give up so easily."
Hearing this, Ha Ming also frowned, thought for a while, and said: "That's true, but this matter can never be accomplished by forcing the emperor to do it. Then Xi Ning is just taking advantage of the situation.
You dare to be so rude. Now that you have a firm attitude, I think there is nothing I can do about it. After all, with your status, I may not really dare to do anything to you."
After listening to Ha Ming's analysis, Zhu Qizhen felt slightly relaxed, but the uneasy feeling in his heart still lingered.
No, something must be happening.
Zhu Qizhen felt more and more irritable, and his intuition told him that he must have overlooked something, but the more anxious he became, the less he could remember.
Forcing himself to calm down, Zhu Qizhen looked at the flickering candlelight in front of him, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Ha Ming, tell me, I already rejected Yexian's marriage proposal three days ago. Xi Ning was also present at that time. If that's the case, why would he bother to ask me again?"
Ha Ming thought for a while and guessed: "Perhaps Xi Ning is unwilling to give in and feels there is still hope of success, or maybe he wants to use this matter to make a fuss?"
At this point, Ha Ming's face also looked a little confused.
They are now in the prison camp, and their life and death depend on a single thought. If they want to do anything, why bother to bother...
Zhu Qizhen said: "My attitude has already shown that there is no need for Xi Ning to humiliate himself. He must be taking the opportunity to do something?"
Thinking of Xi Ning's strange expression before leaving, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Zhu Qizhen's mind and he shouted.
"broken!"
After saying that, Zhu Qizhen stood up suddenly, looked around anxiously, and finally grabbed Ha Ming's lapel tightly and asked.
"Where's Yuan Bin?"
Ha Ming was startled by his sudden action, and replied unconsciously: "Half an hour ago, I sent someone to say that winter clothes were delivered to the capital, and Yuan Xiaowei went to pick them up first.
.”
After the words fell, Ha Ming also realized that he was just picking up something. Half an hour had passed and it was time to come back.
Zhu Qizhen let go of Ha Ming, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Although he had been living in the prison camp for only half a month, he had gone through ups and downs and had seen all the warmth and warmth of human beings in the world.
During this period, there were only two people around him whom he could trust, Yuan Bin and Ha Ming.
Zhu Qizhen's feelings for the two of them have long gone beyond those of ordinary monarchs and ministers, and they rely more on each other.
Now that he thought something might happen to Yuan Bin, how could he not be anxious?
After walking back and forth in the tent twice, Zhu Qizhen turned around and took down his robe from the shelf. Without caring about anything else, he hurriedly put on his robe, opened the tent and rushed out.
Upon seeing this, Ha Ming followed him out. However, as soon as the two of them left the tent, they were surrounded by more than a dozen Ora soldiers.
The moon is dimly lit tonight, and under the soft moonlight, the scimitar in the hand of the Wara soldier shines with a menacing light.
With the scimitar in his hand pointed at the two people who rushed out from the tent, Walabing said in a harsh tone.
"go back!"
The cold light on the blade was like a basin of icy cold water, pouring down on Zhu Qizhen's head, immediately making him lose his initial courage.
However, thinking of Yuan Bin's situation, he still stood there, took a deep breath, and said.
"I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I want to see your Grand Master!"
However, this is the Wala camp after all. Out of admiration for the power of the Ming Dynasty, Wala senior officials basically learned etiquette and were quite respectful to Zhu Qizhen, the Ming emperor.
But for these big-headed soldiers, they don't recognize the great emperor.
The order they received was to guard the people in the tent and not allow them to leave.
So these warriors clenched their scimitars, took two steps forward, and repeated again.
"Go back! Otherwise, tie him back!"
Seeing these people approaching step by step, Zhu Qizhen felt anxious, but he was frightened by the scimitars in their hands and had to retreat.
At this moment, the lights in the military tent nearby turned on, and a steady voice came from across the tent.
"What happened?"
